Dear "Visitor":

     With reference to the kind of hype you may be hearing from government information services, please remember these facts:

     Government Data Publications, Inc. (GDP) has been furnishing Value-Added Government Contract & Subcontract Data for the Private and Public Sectors since 1959.

     Government Data Publications has been actively reporting on all areas of government business opportunities. Among the earliest publications were nationally recognized marketing-oriented volumes on "GUIDED MISSILES" (first edition 1959), "U.S. SPACE SYSTEMS" (first edition 1960) and "U.S. SATELLITES" (first edition 1961). These were published regularly on an annual basis, and were followed by highly enhanced reports on the nation's Research & Development activities, both in editorial format ("U.S./R&D", "Multi-Industry Developments Annual") and in Contract Listing format ("R&D CONTRACTS MONTHLY", published uninterruptedly since January of 1959, and the "Unique 3-in-1 RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT DIRECTORY" published annually since 1959). Among the technical information services rendered to the nation was also the highly-acclaimed "DIRECTORY OF U.S. GOVERNMENT INVENTIONS", a joint venture with the U.S. Department of Commerce.

GDP's primary focus, however, has always been: to help American companies of all sizes - from the 2-man machine shop to giant corporations - get Government Contracts and Subcontracts

     Government Data Publications did so by publishing vitally enhanced "Commerce Business Daily" (now "FedBizOpps") data since 1959 in many variations and formats for maximum utilization by its users, and this information is of course now available in all media -- Print, Diskette, CD-ROM, and Online. GDP's "CBD/FedBizOpps" electronic database is believed to be even more extensive than the government's, as it contains contract information in electronic form going back to 1977. (This electronic database is, in fact, frequently utilized by companies and agencies for customized data searches of past contract information.)

GDP's "CBDisk/FedBizOpps" - Premier Electronic Version

     GDP's "CBDisk/FedBizOpps"^TM, the premier and most comprehensive Electronic Version of CBD/FedBizOpps -- features an incredibly powerful database, search, retrieval and report formatting engine which has really taken the industry by storm. One of the amazing features of "CBDisk/FedBizOpps" is that in addition of making sure that you catch ALL the available contract and subcontract opportunities, it also furnishes you with the tools to GET the contracts and subcontracts you decide to go after!

     During the computer era's "infancy", when the U.S. Small Business Administration needed the development of a program allowing it to monitor nationwide compliance by government contractors with the provisions of Public Law 95-507, it awarded its contract to Government Data Publications. Under the same contract, GDP subsequently ran this computer operation for the SBA, producing detailed monthly contract reports and disseminating them to SBA offices nationwide.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee

     Please also note that GDP has always had a 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy, permitting you to examine any of its products at no obligation, and permitting you to discontinue any daily, weekly or monthly service or periodical at any time, with full refund tendered for all unsent issues, updates, or online transmissions.

     It will be our pleasure to add you to our roster of satisfied users of over 100,000 companies, ranging from the largest global corporations to 2-man machine shops (including 84% of Fortune 500).

To sum up:

GDP's bottom-line goal since 1959: To give U.S. Companies of all sizes the best tools possible for entering the government market, operating in it, and selling its products and services successfully to the government and its primecontractors.
